Description

Night SkyCancelled due to inclement weather.

 

Kids and adults alike will enjoy learning about the night sky with instruction and stories by Chick Keller.

The summer sky shows off the Milky Way, which is our galaxy seen edge-on from its center way out into its spiral arms. During this fun Summer Family Evening, Chick will talk about what we know of the galaxy’s spiral shape and show where dust clouds obscure much of it. The group will have a chance to look at objects that tell us what’s going on in the night sky, such as star formation, age-old remnants, clusters, nebulae, and more. And of course, you will be able to look at whatever planets are in the sky, certainly Mars and Saturn.

No advance registration is required.
